Brother Launches ScanNCut and Hello Kitty Home Sewing Machines

Brother has introduced its ScanNCut machine (CM550DX), a new home and hobby cutting machine with built-in 300dpi scanner. Also, the company has launched two special anniversary editions of Hello Kitty home sewing machines, NV980K and GS2786K.

The built-in scanner turns scanned images into unique cutting designs and projects without requiring the need for a PC, software, or any pricey cartridges. Simply put, you can scan any images or hand-drawings into the ScanNCut CM550DX, and then it will cut out the design or drawing on any compatible media.

Thus you can create unique and personal scrapbooks, greeting cards, quilts, and one-of-a-kind crafts. The home and hobby cutting machine allows you to:

The ScanNCut machine includes a variety of built-in designs, quilt patterns and fonts from basic shapes to intricate designs. These patterns can be viewed using the 3.7-inch color LCD touchscreen display with editing capabilities such as rotating, welding, resizing, and organizing. The designs can be selected and cut out on any material of choice.

Additionally, the machine integrated a pen draw feature that allow users to create their own customized drawings for their crafting projects. It comes with six drawing pens and two erasable pens which gives the users the ability to change or edit the cut file to create one-of-a-kind designed by combining any built-in pattern with another scanned or customized image.

Backed by a 1 year carry-in warranty, the Brother CM550DX is retailing at S$828.
